QUESTIONS 1-7

Our apologies for this odd format--one of the limitations of WKU's new web server.

1. If necessary and you are selected as a finalist, would you be willing to come
to Western Kentucky University at your own expense for a personal interview with the
Project staff?

2. If you are selected for the Project and decide to participate in our Outreach
program (designed to provide paid in-service to schools and districts), do you agree
to allow the Outreach office to act as your "booking agent" and make all arrangements?

Questions 3-7: Respond in a brief paragraph to each of the following questions.

3. Do you enjoy writing? What do you write?

4. What problems have you encountered in teaching students to write? How have you
attempted to solve them?

5. Identify a standards-based unit you've taught that involved writing, one that
satisfied both you and your students. What other units are you interested in designing?

6. Why do you want to be a participant in this year's WKU Writing Project? What
do you think you could bring to the Project?

7. Describe a book you've read recently which has impacted your teaching.
